Cesarean scar endometriosis: our recent experiences
Summary
Abdominal wall endometriosis, a rare condition, can cause chronic lower abdominal pain. Surgical excision is the recommended treatment for this condition, often found in Cesarean scars.
Area of Science:
- Gynecology
- Surgical Pathology
Background:
- Endometriosis involves endometrial tissue outside the uterus, causing inflammation.
- Abdominal wall endometriosis (AWE) is rare (<1%), with Cesarean scar endometriosis being the most common subtype.
- Symptoms include menstrual-related lower abdominal pain and a palpable scar mass.
Observation:
- Two fertile-aged females presented with chronic Cesarean scar pain.
- Preoperative suspicion of endometriosis was confirmed histologically post-excision.
Findings:
- AWE is an uncommon but significant cause of chronic lower abdominal pain.
- Complete surgical resection with clear margins is the primary treatment.
Implications:
- Highlights the importance of considering AWE in patients with relevant symptoms.
- Underscores the impact of AWE on patient quality of life.
- Emphasizes surgical management for definitive treatment.
